Aberavon, Port Talbot

About a 55-minute drive from the second Severn Bridge J41 M4. There’s a garage with shop nearby and good chip shop on the prom.

 Up in front of the sand dunes!

Beach Description:

• 2 miles of beach with flat hard packed sand......BUT stay up the far North end to the right!
• One of the most popular beaches in the area for kitesurfing, the close proximity of a steel works, chemical plant and council estate keeps most of the tourists away.
• kitesurfing/landboarding/buggying in the permitted zone from the car park at the very western end of the prom. (West of the carpark)
• Has a Blue Flag but the water can still get a bit iffy! They say it's algae!?
• Walk up the beach to the right till you get to the Sand Dunes, keep a distance from the rocks/concrete steps near the car park.

Characteristics:

• Great Landboard and Buggy Beach with firm smooth sand.

Best Kitesurf Conditions:

• Works from S.East around to Westerly. N.West can get a bit iffy as wind can quickly swing cross offshore.
